You can't break laws of physics just because you really really want it... Hydrogen cars are really old technology by this point and it simply doesn't work in a way that it would be reasonable. You can't generate hydrogen on demand, again, first law of thermodynamics, heck any scientist will explain you why that one will never work. Water isn't fuel, just like crude oil isn't petroleum. You actually need to make it, produce it, and that takes crap ton of electricity and there is no way around it.
Basic logical thinking here could create red flags straight away. You want to make hydrogen from water, so electrolysis, which produces hydrogen and oxygen, cool, after that you want to combine hydrogen with oxygen to produce energy, which results in that same water. Like, can you see potential issue here straight away? Water -> hydrogen and oxygen -> hydrogen + oxygen -> Water. So then, from which magical place does this excess energy should come from to power anything else, let alone to power actual electrolysis? Perpetual motion engines do not exist... Let alone those which can make crap ton more power than its using...
We would be having thousands upon thousands water/hydrogen powered electrical plants across entire world if this magical technology could work in any meaningful way...

I mainly don't own it because I rarely drive in general, if I was using my car daily then it would make sense to get an BEV, but when I use it maybe max twice in a week to get to local grocery store is just doesn't make any sense. I'm actually looking for a new car, new used car, was thinking about BEV, but that one would cost like 30k, my aim for a budget is tops 15k as there is no point for me to spend more than this on a car which will spend most of its time rusting in my driveway. Tho car after this one will most likely be BEV, especially if next 25k generation comes out in that time.
"Used Tesla vehicles are very readily available from Hertz rentals at a steep discount"
I'm not from US... Shocker... I know... But there are more than single country in the world. You could have guessed that part from by broken English on your own.
In my country you can see supercharge as often as you can see Bugatti near dollar store... Sadly our country isn't being prioritized for BEV's, even tho I keep seeing increased about of BEV's on the roads.
"This is magical thinking from EV fans who live in a delusional world."
Did you had any actual point here? BEV's are more expensive than ICE cars, ok, its like saying "grass is green", we got it, we know... Point about BEV's is that it is cheaper to travel with those and it requires basically zero maintenance, so that difference in initial costs will melt down over few years. Side thing would be that it's more environmentally friendly.
Are you just like someone who got but hurt by buying BEV because you forgot to double check your electricity prices before buying it? Or was that BEV so bad that you regretted buying it? Which BEV did you got?
